hello, world. my name is ilene (aka illy). this is my blog where i like to write about life, laughter and the pursuit of real happiness. creamer with a pinch of coffee, songs played on repeat, red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and reading into the hours of the night top my list of favorite things. and life. i am a follower of Jesus and i love life.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Thursday, February 3, 2011

not to rub it into your face but the weather turned on us here in the south this week. i was dressed for chilly weather - tights, sweater dress, and boots - then as i was out running errands, i realized i was not dressed for it. i could have done without the tights or the sweater dress or the boots. it was HOT! like humid-icky hot. i am not ready for that kind of SC heat.

it reminded me of the days when i was in elementary school (we lived in SC then too) and mom made us wear our puffy jackets to school 'cause it'd be freezing in the morning on the way to school but then i had to peel it off of me and carry it home 'cause once the sun was high in the sky, the heat was sweltering.

but i really shouldn't complain. i was watching the TODAY show and saw the report on the 17inches of snow back in Chicago. i definitely do not miss that. icky, icky.

okay, so lately ashley has captured some more goofy shots of me. they make me laugh so they might make you laugh too. i had been sewing all day when we took these pics so i kinda needed to let out some of the goofy energy in one way or another. and this is how i did it.

love your outfits, they're so effortless!sounds like some lovely weather there, jealous! australia is erratic :(in sydney where i live we've been sweltering and people up in queensland just had a cyclone =S
